THE ORGAN
The organ in St. Mary the Virgin Parish Church was built by Samuel Green of London in 1787 for an unknown residence in the capital. Green is credited with having been an organ builder to George III. In 1842 the organ was sold to the Rev. C.H. Lucas who was vicar of the church and transported by rail to Edith Weston where it was at first placed in the Edith Weston Hall. The brass plate on the organ bears the inscription: This organ is presented to the inhabitants of Edith Weston by Richard Lucus, 1867. The present swell front is presumed to be a replacement by Porrit of Leicester dating from 1873. In 1971 an electric blower was installed and in 1981 the organ was restored by M. Goetze and D. Gwynne.
